Invented Difference Engine designed the first computational machine that took punch cards and performed operations.
-
John Neumann develops the 2 concepts important to computer programming. The first concept was the "shared programming technique". It strived for computer hardware to be simple. The second concept was "conditional control transfar" which gave rise to computer programming languages to control the computation machines.
